Prison Population

According to this Associated Press story, almost 2.1 million people or one of every 75 men is living in prison or jail. The report also states:
"The inmate population continued its rise despite a fall in the crime rate ..."
I don't know how to explain that distorted logic. The crime rate is falling BECAUSE the inmate population is rising. The criminals can't commit crimes when they are in jail.

Sheesh!
